When we had an incident recently where our dishwasher leaked and buckled the hardwood kitchen floor. Went thru the Insurance company and filed the claim. When asked if I had a contractor in mind I remembered the wonderful job Jeff DeLima did at our home back in 2002. I found the business card and called. Turns out his son Justin has taken over the business. Met with Justin, got the estimate, which we were quite pleased with and hired him to do the work. The crew came in on Monday and pieced in the area damaged, sanded and put coat of sealant on the floor. Tuesday morning, at 8 am sharp, they arrived. The finish work was done and the final coating was applied. They were clean and courteous and we were happy with the end result! So, good service and for value, please consider calling Justin!! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Justin and his father on a six figure flooring project for my home in Piedmont CA. There were issues with the subfloor, as the existing wood floor was uneven and buckling. When they came for the estimate, they gave me a very accurate summary of what needed to be done, and took very detailed measurements of the existing floor. The work was completed on time and to my satisfaction, with no cut corners. I happened to find their pricing very fair, and don't think any other vendor could have done as good a job as they did, regardless of the pricing. Would use them again in a heartbeat! read more

Exceeded expectations in every way: prompt communication, clear and well-delineated quote, executed to agreed schedule (finished a little early), affordable prices, professionals in every way. After the first day of work, I accidentally left the window open overnight and the sprinklers sprayed in, leaving puddles on the raw oak floors. Jeff's team re-structured their work week, made a separate trip out to our house to ensure the floors would dry in time, and gave extra focus on the final coat. The end result were 1,200 square feet of beautifully-refinished red oak floors with no trace of the water damage. I highly recommend this business for their affordability, timeliness and professionalism. read more

Accent Design Custom Flooring refinished all the floors in our house, most during our renovation, the last this week. They are professional, set expectations, pointed out potential problem areas, communicated during the work and finished on time. The floors look fabulous! The dustless system left the house with very little dust. The repairs they made are seamless. I highly recommend them! read more

Jeff and his crew were superb and did an excellent job on my floors. In dealing with multiple contractors during the renovation of my house, Jeff stood out at the top - he was quick to respond to my initial call, came out for an estimate, scheduled my job, and gave me a fair and reasonable quote. He got the job done in the stated amount of time for the stated amount of money. No other contractor I worked with was so reliable! And my wood floors are now GORGEOUS. They seemed totally unsalvageable at first sight. The kitchen floor was actually black. I thought I was going to have to rip them out and get all new floors. Jeff came in, assessed the wood, and assured me he could make my 100 year old floors look good again. He didn't promise miracles, but he said they would look good. He was just being humble. After doing a few repairs, sanding, and 3 coats of polyurethane, they are now totally amazing. And all for less than half the price of new floors. My only qualm, and this is true of a lot of contractors, is that he isn't the most technologically savvy - you'll get a handwritten mailed quote, he wants checks, etc. But this is a small price to pay for a true, RELIABLE, professional. read more

I had a great experience with Accent Design. There were a few things that went wonkey due to Covid19, such as that we couldn't go to a showroom to look at floor samples, which made the selection process hard, but Jeff and Justin and their crew did a great job going over the scope with us, helping us decide how much to do and what type of material to use (We went with luxury Vinyl Plank since it's kid proof) and they got everything done faster than expected! When there were a few things left over afterwards to fix, they came back promptly and fixed them well. I had a great experience. read more

Jeff's team of professional hardwood floor repair men restored 1100 square feet of 30 year old Oak Floors. They were clean (no dust), meticulous, and made my floors look just like new. Every house guess that's been here since they completed the project has really flipped out over the difference between the old and the new floors. They were done in less than four days and only recommended another three days for curing of the several coats of polyethylene covering. The value of my home here in the Oakland hills has now skyrocketed with this upgrade to it's floors. Plus a three square-foot area near a sliding glass door with water damaged wood had to be replaced with new planks. It's so closely matches the original wood that you can't figure out exactly where the new wood is. I highly recommend this company. read more

Just had Jeff and Justin install new flooring in my husbands office. They matched it to the existing flooring and I am extremely happy with the results. I will only use them in the future if I need work done on my hardwood floors. They are the BEST!!!! read more

Jeff DeLima did everything possible to make the refinishing of hardwood floors in 3 rooms and the installation of hardwood in a 4th go smoothly. We are very happy with the results. His crew was excellent. The dustless system still has dust, but is a big improvement. Would definitely use them again. Robin read more

They installed my original hardwood in2003 and did a fantastic job then. Recently had some water damage called Jeff and he came out with his crew and replaced part of the hardwood and made it look like nothing ever happened. They were very professional. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for new floors or refinishing your floors. read more

Jeff & his crew were great. They showed up on time everyday & finished the job on time. They put samples down in 2 rooms so that we could see them in different light. Jeff has been responsive to all the questions I've had. They do an amazing job. I love my new floors. I highly recommend them & will definitely use them in the future. read more

Jeff DeLima was referred to me and my business partner several years ago by a flooring store when we were in search of someone to perform some small repairs for a new listing. Since then, Jeff and his team have refinished floors for many of our clients and always with the same wonderful result! We have used them for small repairs, refinishing entire homes and installing new flooring. As a realtor, I am particularly sensitive about recommending resources to our clients - we can't afford to recommend anyone but the best. The process has always been seamless, and our clients have appreciated his timeliness, fair prices and highly professional work! When it comes time to re-do the floors in my own home, Jeff will be my first call! read more

Accent Design Custom flooring was terrific to work with from start to finish. Jeff arrived right on time to quote the job, and then got back to me by email with a quote the next day at a competitive price and an installation date much better than any other quote. Jeff kept me informed and work started the day he said it would. This was a new home to us; he quoted the work while it was closing, then started the job one week after we took possession. The job was installing a new living room hardwood floor, and sanding and refinishing all the other floors. His crew was great to work with; they kept everything very clean, worked hard, and were very pleasant. The job finished one day early (amazing for a home contractor job!), and looks terrific. Jeff and Accent Design have my highest recommendation. read more

We recently had all of the carpets removed from our home by Jeff and his team. In addition they installed beautiful oak floors in our home, and refinished the existing oak that we discovered in two of the bedrooms. It was a big job but we are very happy with the results....it truly looks awesome. Jeff even worked around my teaching schedule so I could use my home studio a few times during the process. Even though we added the extra re-finishing project they sped up their work to finish on time so we could move back into the rest of the house. They were also sensitive to my suggestions as to where and how to store our furniture on our patio during the process and answered every question I had. I recommend them very highly!!! read more

Jeff and his crew were very professional and knowledgable. They were efficient and they did an amazing job on my floors. I am beyond satisfied with the job they have done. I would highly recommend them. read more

Our general contractor recommended Accent Design Custom Flooring. The owner Jeff DeLima recently did the hardwood flooring in two of our neighbors home and we were able to see the finished flooring and get their take in working with Jeff. We heard nothing but good things. Jeff came out and had great ideas and recommendations on where to shop for flooring, The Floor Store. Jeff's crew did the removal of the old tile floor and carpet and did an excellent job cleaning up. His suggestions were great, i.e., the pluses and minuses of the different types of hard wood floors. When it was time to do the installation, Jeff's crew was very professional. Jeff over saw the entire job from start to finish. My wife and I have no reservation in recommending Jeff of Accent Flooring to do any hardwood floor projects. read more

Jeff DeLima and his team did an excellent job on our floors!! Jeff was very responsive during the bid process to all of our questions and ensured that our mutual understanding/agreement was reflected in writing. He and his crew arrived timely and promptly began their prep work. It took a little creativity to get the electrical hook up as needed due to our old panel and rain but they figured it out. The crew stayed late on Day 1 to ensure completion by the promised deadline. Jeff and crew kept us informed about the process and progress from start to finish. We are very pleased with our floors, with the personal touch service we received, and highly recommend Accent Design Custom Flooring. read more

This is the letter I wrote to Jeff: Dear Jeff, This is to thank you for your splendid work refinishing our oak floors. Starting with the bid process until completion your professionalism throughout was fantastic. Your bid was competitive and you carefully explained your process set our expectations accordingly. You gave very good guidance as to color/shade choices. Your crew likewise was very professional and obviously knew their stuff. We also appreciate your getting the work done as projected. read more

They did an amazing job on my floors. We had our kitchen remodeled. They patched the floor with matching wood, sanded down the kitchen and the family room, then restained the floors. It looks great! They were very professional and did an amazing job. Jeff is always responsive to phone calls and questions. His crew is very friendly, professional and they did a great job. He definitely goes the extra mile when it comes to customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend this company. read more

Owner Jeff DeLima and his team do excellent work. Jeff ensured I was aware of all the costs of the job, including baseboards and infloor heating vents. His estimate was detailed and specific. There were no surprises or add-ons. Jeff and his team are true craftsmen. The floors are beautiful. He and his team are reliable-they came to work precisely when they said they would be there and gave me a progress report after each day. Jeff responded to every question I sent via text and email before and during the job. I wholeheartedly recommend Jeff and his team. They are customer friendly and experts in their field. read more

We couldn't be happier with Accent Design Custom Flooring for installing our new hardwood floor. It looks fantastic! Jeff worked with us through the entire process,from design to material selection, removal of the old floor, and the final installation of the new floor. He even helped us to meet our special need for flooring as nontoxic and allergy-free as possible. He was very responsive, yet flexible with scheduling when we needed him to be. He accommodated a delay when we changed the design and then later he accelerated the installation to meet our time constraints. He even saved us from huge shipping costs by finding a local supplier for the wood. We were impressed by Jeff's knowledge and integrity. At first, we just wanted to refinish the old floor. He showed us how thin the wood was and explained why trying to refinish it would have been a disaster. Jeff's crew worked efficiently and carefully when they removed the old floor and then when they installed the new one. The new floor looks great and was done right the first time. We give Jeff and Accent Design Custom Flooring our highest recommendation. read more

Jeff and his crew did a fabulous job of refinishing my hardwood floors. We went on vacation for a week and came back to the most gorgeous floors I could imagine. Jeff stood out from anyone else I contacted from the very beginning by simply returning my call promptly, coming out exactly when he said he would, gave me a reasonable estimate and returned to do an excellent job right on schedule. He said he uses a dustless system but I had heard so many horror stories of all the dust when refinishing hardwood floors that I covered everything before we left. Needless to say, it was pretty dustless! All in all, we are so pleased that we had Accent Design make our hardwood floors look better than they ever have! read more
